What Did Trump Say About ABC\u2019s Reporting Of The Pool?<\/h2>\n

In a follow-up post<\/u> an hour later, the president lashed out at ABC News and anchor David Muir\u2019s coverage of the pool being drained for repairs. The president insisted that there was no \u201cpeeling paint\u201d but rather \u201chigh-grade colored waterproofing liner\u201d that was slashed by either a \u201cknife, or box cutter.\u201d The president\u2019s post again didn\u2019t include any evidence to back his claims of vandalism. The president also blamed the recurrence of \u201cAlgae Blooms\u201d in the pool on these purported \u201cvandals,\u201d although it’s unclear how people could be responsible for a recurring issue that has plagued the pool for years. Trump has been engaged in a feud with ABC and its news division for several years now and has repeatedly touted his $16 million 2024 settlement in a defamation case he filed against the network.<\/p>\n

The reflecting pool received only a brief mention from Muir on Monday\u2019s broadcast of \u201cABC World News Tonight<\/u>.\u201d He mentioned that the pool was drained again on Monday, and this was the second time this has happened in recent months.\u201dCrews addressing several issues, including peeling paint and algae blooms,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
